Quick question - Adjusting valves


Just a quick question....
After zero lash, how many more turns do i go? I read 1/2 - 3/4 turn somewhere. I just wanted to confirm with some experts.

E303 cam, 1.6 RRs, AFR 165s, .550" springs, 1.90"/1.60" valves

When the intake starts to close adjust the exhaust valve for that cylinder and when the exhaust starts to open adjust the intake valve for that cylinder. Zero lash plus 1/2 turn.
